U.S. Will Only Acknowledge Two Genders : Male and Female
A Swift and Symbolic Shift
On Monday, January 20, during his inaugural address, President Donald Trump announced a new federal policy that will recognize only “two genders: male and female.” This decision, presented as a key campaign promise, signals the launch of controversial policies that directly impact the LGBTQ+ community.
“From this day forward, the United States government will officially recognize only male and female genders,” Trump declared. Additionally, his administration revealed plans to terminate federal funding programs that support transgender individuals. According to an insider, the goal is to “protect women from the radical ideology of gender identity” and to enforce a definition of gender rooted in biological sex at birth.
End of Non-Binary Gender Recognition
One significant policy includes removing the option to mark “X” as a gender on official documents like passports and visas. This marker, introduced during Joe Biden’s presidency, will no longer be available. Federal documents will now require a gender designation based on the individual’s birth certificate, according to a government spokesperson.

Campaign Promises Fulfilled
These actions align with Trump’s campaign rhetoric, where he frequently criticized transgender rights. He promised measures such as “keeping men out of women’s sports” and eliminating what he referred to as the “transgender agenda.” In December, he outlined plans to prohibit gender transition treatments for minors, ban transgender individuals from military service, and restrict their participation in schools.
Critics view these policies as part of a broader effort to stir public fear about transgender rights. Trump’s administration is presenting these initiatives as a defense of traditional values against what he calls “ideological overreach.”
Overhaul of Affirmative Action Policies
The president also announced changes to federal affirmative action programs, removing considerations of gender and race in decision-making processes. “We will create a merit-based society that doesn’t see race or gender,” he stated, effectively ending initiatives designed to promote diversity and equality.
